Please include: invitations, all bride's jewelry, shoes, both bride & groom rings in their boxes, garter, perfume, lipstick, and any other details you may have ( something borrowed, something new, something blue). We will also need the following for detail shots that wont fit in a box/bag: wedding dress, veil, bridal bouquet.
For the groom's details, we will need: BOUTONNIERE, belt, shoes, tie, cuff links, cologne, watch, ring & any other details you may have.
GROOM GETTING READY PICTURES:
please specify the time you would like us to take your getting ready pictures. Remember, if you and the bride are getting ready at different locations, we need to consider travel time. to help with this, we often recommend the groom take his getting ready pictures first and then change out of the clothes after the pictures. Also, please specify if you want your mom or grandma to put on your BOUTONNIERE and if you would like us to capture it.

if yes, would you like us to get pictures? Please specify if you would like picture with groups or individuals.
FAMILY PICTURES
family pictures will begin IMMEDIATELY after the ceremony inside the church. PLEASE let your family know not to leave after the ceremony. It takes time to gather family members for photos. Pre-assign a family member or friend who knows the people to be in the pictures so they can round them up for the photos. And have a list. Getting people where they need to be for the photos is the most time consuming part.
FAMILY PHOTOS LIST
*
This is very important. Please use this area to list each family grouping (using names/relationship to you) that you would like during your family formals time after the ceremony. This list will help make things go very smoothly and will keep everyone organized. We will use this list to call out each group of family members to get them ready for their photo. We recommend making two lists for each side of the family.
example: Bride + Bride's mom
bride + bride's dad
bride + bride's parents
bride + bride's immediate family
bride + bride's sister
FORMAL GROUP PHOTOS
please indicate what time you would like bridal party pictures to take place and at what location(s).
WILL YOU HAVE TRANSPORTATION FOR YOUR BRIDAL PARTY?
Please specify if you have transportation to and from each location for your entire bridal party. If you have a Party bus or limo for post-ceremony and would like a photographer/videographer to be on board, please let us know ahead of time. Please also account for an additional body to be included in your transportation head count.
COCKTAIL HOUR:
please indicate what time this begins. Also, would you like a photographer at the cocktail hour?
BRIDE & GROOM PORTRAITS:
please indicate if you would like to do this during cocktail hour, during sunset, or both. In order to allow for a private photo session of bride and groom, we will need at least half an hour of your time alone with the photographer. This can be done before or after the ceremony. I highly recommend to make time during both cocktail hour and sunset/ golden hour. We can make sure the DJ has people dancing and we will sneak you away for a gorgeous sun set session with the most beautiful light ever!
